Singapore Holidays

For many who visit Singapore, the city is nothing more than a stopover point – a convenient destination to break the long flight home, and perhaps squeeze in some good shopping. What a waste!

Many will have heard how well-organised and clean this island city is, but visitors who take the time to dig a little deeper, and perhaps stay a second (or third and fourth) night, will be rewarded with a truly multi-cultural destination full of flavour, culture, and great cuisine.

In many ways, Singapore is the perfect introduction to Asia. There are a number of non-stop flights from cities across Europe, the city is extremely well kept, there is an excellent transport infrastructure, and a range of hotels to suit all budgets. Thanks to the mix of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures (to name a few) a stay in Singapore always delivers variety.

Eat as much as you can handle! The variety of food here is exceptional and delicious.

Eat as much as you can handle! The variety of food here is exceptional and delicious.

A fusion of cuisines from all over South-East Asia and beyond is available to everyone, no matter what their budget, from the hawker stands found on every street corner to some of the world’s finest restaurants. The street stalls are surely the most hygienic on the planet, and you can eat like a king for just a pound or two. One local delicacy to seek out at every opportunity is the iconic Chilli Crab.

Gardens by the Bay

They might be more papped than an A-list celeb, but you can’t deny that the sculptural trees in the Gardens by the Bay are iconic, and truly impressive.

You can easily spend a day exploring the bio-domes, walking through the Heritage Gardens and marvelling at those super-trees, by day and night.

Retail therapy

Along with Singapore Zoo’s Night Safari and the city’s Formula 1 race track, the city is also known for its world-class shopping malls, many of which can be found along Orchard Road.

If that all seems a little too mass commercial, then be sure to search out Little India and Chinatown for some hectic bartering action.

A great trip

We had an excellent holiday with an itinerary carefully arranged by Dave to suit our preferences. This is the third time we've travelled with Selective Asia and we will happily do so again in the future. We like the fact that they are a small company, passionate about what they do and committed to responsible travel.

Sarah Wilkie, Sri Lanka

Selective Asia is more than a booking agency...

When a museum sent its exhibits overseas on tour, they learned about this before our departure and steered another to another site. When a hotel that we had booked scheduled a noisy wedding for the period of our occupancy, they were able to identify a fantastic hotel without noise before our arrival. I am not sure that any other tour operator would provide such detail in follow up, even after the tour was booked and paid for.

David Kosh, Vietnam

Brilliant! Selective Asia covered every detail.

Travel, hotels, guides, and excursions all flawlessly executed. Selective Asia listened to our requirements and worked with us to refine a great holiday.

Tim Goodman, Thailand

Holiday of a lifetime

The planning of the holiday and the ongoing support was excellent. The organisation on the ground when we got there was perfect and the local guides were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely go with Selective Asia again.

Gillian Baker, Komodo & Borneo

Our trip was outstanding...

We had had several discussions with Andrew before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in, plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again.

Beyond the Golden Route

Japan
Japan has so much more nuance and variation to offer beyond its cinematic headliners. Taking inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi - repairing objects with gold - we’ve shattered Japan’s classic ‘Golden Route’ and bonded it back together with a little more samurai history, scenic views, lesser-visited cities, spirituality, and a touch of coastal connection.
